This is not correct. Also other things like calling conventions can change
in delphi mode. In ppu.pas at line 33 you can enable {$define INTFPPU}
then a ppu.intf will be generated that contains the info from the
interface only.

A rewrite of the unit handling is planned, but that will be a 2.3 todo.
